 A 59-year-old man who allegedly molested an 8-year-old girl during piano lessons in his Palisade home has been arrested after the FBI released his photograph in a multi-state dragnet.

James David Tiner is being held in the Garfield County jail following his arrest near New Castle, said FBI spokesman Dave Joly.

"After seeing the publicity given to accused sexual assault suspect James David Tiner, citizens from Garfield County, Colorado, provided tips to law enforcement that lead to his arrest," Joly said.

Someone called the New Castle Police Department late Friday and described where they believed he was staying.

After authorities confirmed Tiner's location, law enforcement officers from the Garfield County Sheriff's Office, the New Castle Police Department and the FBI arrested Tiner around 1:30 a.m. Saturday, Joly said.

The FBI sent bulletins to law enforcement in Colorado and Arkansas believing that he may be hiding in the Ozarks in Arkansas. The outdoorsman loved to camp.

Also known as "music Dave," Tiner allegedly molested the girl four times while teaching her piano lessons at his home, Joly said.

The girl's mother contacted police April 16. She reported that the abuse happened between September 2009 and June 2010.

When police searched Tiner's home, they allegedly found multiple videos and photographs of the 8-year-old girl in the nude, while performing sexual acts with Tiner, Joly said.

Additional photographs of unknown pre-pubescent nude females also were allegedly found in Tiner's home, Joly said.

Tiner had listed himself in a local paper as a music teacher for hire.

On April 20, a Colorado arrest warrant was issued for Tiner in Mesa County on charges of sexual assault on a child, sexual assault on a child-pattern of abuse, and sexual assault on a child by one in a position of trust.

He was later charged with unlawful flight to avoid prosecution.

Tiner is being held without bond in the Garfield County Detention Facility for the Palisade Police Department.

No court date has been set in this case, Joly said.
